Wound preparation
Debride when necessary and irrigate the wound in accordance with local clinical protocol.
Remove excess moisture from surrounding skin.
Dressing and rope preparation
Select an appropriate dressing according to wound size.
1. Cut (using sterile scissors) or fold the dressing to fit the wound.

3. Cover and secure with a suitable secondary dressing, for example Hypafix® transparent or Cutimed® Hydro L.
How to remove
Carefully remove the secondary dressing, and gently remove Cutimed® Alginate from the wound bed and discard. If the wound appears dry, saturate the dressing with sterile saline solution prior to removal. If required, irrigate the wound site with a suitable wound cleanser prior to application of new dressing.
